Hours before the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft kicks off, I've compiled my list of the Top 100 Prospects. To put this list together, I've poured over dozens of available online game tape. The list includes heights, weights, college statistics and workout numbers for each player. You can view and print the PDF file HERE

My random predictions and observations for this draft class:

HOF Offensive Player: LT Greg Robinson
HOF Defensive Player: DT Aaron Donald
Offensive Superstar Sleeper: QB Logan Thomas
Defensive Superstar Sleeper: OLB Jeremiah Attaochu
Offensive Bust: QB Blake Bortles

Safest Bet to Succeed on Offense: LT Jake Matthews
